Allerton Park Trail Run

The Allerton Park Trail Run, hosted by Second Wind Running Club, takes place at Robert Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, Illinois. The event features a challenging 5.7-mile trail run along the Sangamon River, known for its hidden roots, ruts, and sharp turns, as well as a 2-mile nature walk. Proceeds support park maintenance and enhancements, including trail safety and amenities.

The race finishes in a scenic meadow, with awards for overall and age group winners, plus costume contests near Halloween. Participants can register online, with options for race shirts, and packet pickup is available before race day. Dogs are not permitted on the trails.
